TURN 1

Mundus Centrum Campaign
0.248.853.M41

++++++TRANSMITTED: MUNDUS CENTRUM
+++++++++RECEIVED: THE ROCK
+++++++++++AUTHOR: DEATHWING CAPTAIN LAZAAR
++++++++++SUBJECT: LOG OF MUNDUS CENTRUM CAMPAIGN
++++++++++THOUGHT: A MOMENT OF LAXITY SPAWNS A LIFETIME OF HERESY.


    248.853.M41: Following the leads we received from Brother Interrogator Chaplain Asmodai, we made haste to Sector Mundus Centrum. Upon translation from warp space, we were immediately set upon by one of the Great Devourer’s many tendrils. The battle in high orbit above Mundus Centrum would have delayed our landing onto the main continent for weeks had not the unheralded arrival of a large contingent of Necron tomb ships not caught the Tyranid bio-forms unawares.  Void battle was joined between the Tyranid and Necron ships, and we used this brief respite to land a small force of our brothers planet-side in the North East region of the continent (Imperial Designation: Rhun). I have accompanied my fellow marines to lead from the field, leaving Brother Aralith in command of the fleet.

    The derelict star port in South Rhun is in some disrepair, but it will suffice for our purposes as an operational command center.  Brother Techmarine Ophaniel reports that with some maintenance, we may be able to link the other abandoned star ports on the continent and reactivate the dormant orbital defense systems, allowing us to target the xenos interlopers and cleanse local space of their alien taint.

    In our descent to Rhun, augurs picked up a disturbing number of returns from other craft entering the atmosphere.  To the South, it appears the shambling Necron host has endeavored to gain a foothold in the former capital region (Imperial Designation: Gondor).  To the West, bio-forms of the insatiable Tyranids have assumedly already begun to consume and destroy one of the continent’s main agricultural regions (Imperial Designation: Eriador).

    The presence of these xenos armies will surely slow the hunt for our quarry, but we will persevere undeterred.  For the Emperor.  For the Lion.

TURN 3

250.853.M41: Brother Techmarine Myrdean has successfully repelled a Necron attack to his position at the star port Barad-Dur. The Storm Raven Barador was invaluable in this defense, but Myrdean fears the Necrons are merely testing our strength and resolve before mounting larger attacks. Defensive infrastructure must be built quickly to solidify our grip in Mordor.

    Squad Galizur was also met with some resistance in the expansive territory of the Brown Lands.  A small and meddlesome force of scarabs tried, unsuccessfully, to halt Galizur’s progress in bringing the territory under our control.  Such small storms can be easily weathered.  I am concerned the coming tempest may prove otherwise. The Emperor Protects.

Discussion Notes

  • I updated the multi-territory moves for the first two turns. Are we cool with my decisions? No response.
  • The way I have it, after you move you can only see the units in combat. You don’t get to see the full board until after combat is resolved. This was intentional on my part, but do we like this? Ok, I changed this. I think it’s much better this way. Red circles on the map show battles and there’s a CONFLICT! column where relevant in your table. Plus, now you can only see the battles you’re involved with.
  • Whose gonna write me a battle story for this turn? Grizzzzz!

TURN 4

251.853.M41: Ravenwing Talonmaster Castiel has demonstrated unparalleled prowess as a hunter of the Second Company.  I have inducted him further into the ranks of the Inner Circle, and expect his name will be well-remembered in the halls of The Rock.  While scouting the northern reaches of Angmar, Castiel came upon a swarm of winged creatures (Imperial Designation: Gargoyles). Unfortunately, the vermin escaped before they could be properly put to the sword.  It seems the voracious appetite of the Great Devourer knows some bounds after all.

Our forces in the densely forested region (Imperial Designation: Mirkwood) came across another small, scouting contingent of Necron scarabs.  Negligible resistance met.  Similarly, Brother Techmarine Myrdean came into contact with constructs of the same variety in the southern territory of Mount Doom.  While dealing with these insectoid nuisances is a trivial matter, the broader goal of the Necrons remains a mystery, and is therefore disquieting. 

The retreat of the Necrons from Myrdean’s wrath in yesterday’s battle for Barad-Dur was an apparent feint.  All available intelligence led Myrdean to believe this small band had fled due-East from his location, and he gave chase only to find the aforementioned scarabs. The true destination of the Necrons was later discovered to be the territory of Gorgoroth, where Squad Naamand was caught in the open as they were setting up the defenses.  Emperor be praised, Naamand was able to signal us in the South Rhun star port before his squad could be overrun.  Brothers Abathar and Apharan of the Deathwing accompanied me with their squads to the front, and we were only just able to stem that tide of living metal from rising over Gorgoroth.

We are undaunted, and we know no fear!

TURN 5

252.853.M41: Ravenwing Talonmaster Castiel encountered stiff resistance in the far northern territory of Forodwaith.  He and his accompanying Ravenwing brothers were set upon by wave after wave of Tyranid bio-forms.  The battle was going in their favor until a massive, tentacled spore plummeted from the sky, straight into the heart of the fight.  This new monstrosity would have been difficult enough to deal with on its own, but it came carrying terrible passengers!  Spilling forth from the abomination’s mucus-covered orifices, the large bio-forms (Imperial Designation: Hive Guard) opened fire, and turned the tide of battle against the Ravenwing.  Castiel and his brothers narrowly escaped, but he assures me that they remain combat-ready.

Brother Techmarine Myrdean led a daring assault into the mountain passes of Minas Morgul.  Unfortunately, the Necron host my Deathwing brothers and I had forced to flee the fields of Gorgoroth quickly set up defenses, and ambushed Myrdean in his ascent to meet them.  Repelled from Minas Morgul, our Techmarine has withdrawn back to Gorgoroth to reassess the tactical situation and plan his next attack.  Meanwhile, word has come from Brother Naamand in Nurn that yet another Necron craft has entered his airspace.  Truly, the arrogance of these “undying” legions is staggering.

Every day brings more clues as to the whereabouts of our quarry, and while significantly slowed by antagonistic, xenos elements in the field, our command of this continent’s star ports is all but assured within the month.

Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy’s.

Discussion Notes

  • Here’s an interesting question: in Turn 4, Moby was trying to move B3 => B1 => B4 but ran into Chris in B1. Mobes wins the battle and, the way I have it now, he proceeds to B4 (his original destination) leaving B1 (the site of the battle) unoccupied. I guess this could make sense theoretically, but it seems a little weird. Or maybe, if he had wanted to leave anybody in B1 then he would have to specify that during the retreat phase? Thoughts? Yes
  • Also, I’m pretty sure Eric and Moby are just passing in the night in H5 and H6. Is that right? If so… this shouldn’t be legal, right? They have to fight? They didn’t actually cross paths. They went around each other eric H6 => H5 and moby H4 => H6.
  • I made the change where sneaky units can never be seen, unless they’re in the same territory as an opponent. (Previously, they had to actually have “sneak” as their action to be invisible). Lemme know if this is still the rule you want and, if so, if it appears to be rendering right on your maps.
  • How does the die-and-replace thing happen? Do you get to respawn in the retreat phase and then immediately move next turn? Or do you spend a turn respawning?

TURN 6

253.853.M41: Our grim resolve has not gone unrewarded!  Intelligence on the presence of Fallen on Mundus Centrum has proven valid and actionable. Thanks to the investigatory measures of our forces in the field, it is believed by my brothers of the Inner Circle that a captain of our ancient enemy is behind many of the xenos machinations on the continent.  Every action we take is removing options for his escape, and I am certain that his capture is imminent.

Brother Epistolary Larathiel informs me that with the capture of space port Moria, he can begin to set up suitable chambers for interrogation.  This space port, located in the continent’s largest mountain range, has many deep passages and hidden chambers, not unlike The Rock.  Larathiel assures me that Moria provides an ideal location for offering deliverance.

Possession of Moria was hard-won, though.  Psychic abominations of the Tyranid host were also drawn to the strategic location, and had it not been for our phobos-bedecked brethren catching them off-guard, the fight for the space port could have easily gone the other way.  The Emperor truly does protect, and we are his wrath made manifest.

Castiel continues his pressure campaign in the North to great success, beating back tyranid bio-forms along the mountain ranges.  His quick strike and withdrawal doctrines of war are well-suited for the terrain. 

To the South, only small confrontations to report as scarab constructs flee before the might of Honorable Brother Seraphus and squad Kazaral.  I fear, though, that our resiliency in Mordor has not yet truly been tested.  Traps were set in Gorgoroth to slow the Necron advance on my position in the Barad-Dur star port, but they seem to have done little to disabuse the soulless shamblers of their conquest-driven notions.  Without a doubt, the siege on Barad-Dur will commence within the next eight hours.  Let them come.

Only in death does duty end.
